I was expecting the typical complimentary response any coach would give when asked about one his players who'd played exceptionally well.
What I got was even better.
Smith talked about Jackson's journey to becoming the leading rusher on a team that finished the season 12-2 and a game away from competing for a second consecutive state championship.
"I'm very proud of Derrick Jackson. Derrick's a kid that going into the season, he didn't really have a spot. Coming off the end of the year last year, he kind of lost his spot as a receiver. We went kind of on a hunch and put him in the backfield and I think he had an outstanding season for us. He did a great job as what we call our A-back or our tailback. He made a lot of big plays for us.
"I'm very proud of him because he's a kid that's worked very hard to make himself into a good football player. I can't say enough good things about him. He did a great job for us as a running back and played well on the defensive side of the ball at corner."
The diminutive Jackson, who stands 5-foot-9 and weighs 155 pounds, carried the ball 16 times for a game-high 126 yards against the Aggies (14-0). His 39-yard tote for a touchdown put Piedmont on the board first with 7:59 remaining in the first quarter.
Jackson finished the season with 1, 137 yards and 13 touchdowns on 118 carries, by my unofficial count, in a backfield that also included preseason Dandy Dozen selections sophomore Jamie Major and classmate Jamaal Johnson. Jackson also had two interceptions.
• LOCALS TABBED TO OFFICIATE AT SUPER 6: Despite none of the 30-plus teams in The Star's coverage reaching the state finals in football this season, there will still be some local flavor on the field when the Super 6 kicks off at Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium Thursday. Allen Gilbert of Jacksonville (referee), Greg Bearden of Oxford (side judge) and Karl Nobles of Pell City (umpire) will all be a part of the seven-man officiating crew that will handle the Class 5A state title game between Briarwood Christian (13-1) and Spanish Fort (12-2). Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
RANDALL: I failed to mention it in my story chronicling White Plains' boys basketball team's 66-53 victory against Woodland in the final of Daniel Davenport Invitational in Sunday's paper and he didn't make a big deal about it all after the game. However, it should be mentioned that the Wildcats' 52-37 win against Sacred Heart in the semifinals of the tournament Saturday morning was the 200th of coach Chris Randall's stint at the school.
Randall took over the program 10 years ago after two seasons at Trinity Christian and continued its winning tradition. In 2008, Randall was named the Alabama Sports Writers Association's Class 2A Coach of the Year after leading the Wildcats to a 26-6 record and an appearance in the Final 48 at the Birmingham Jefferson Convention-Complex.

text: HealthDay News | Lack of Sleep May Give You the MunchiesSleep-deprived people eat more than 500 extra calories daily, study finds.By Robert Preidt, HealthDay News WEDNESDAY, Mar. 14, 2012 (HealthDay News) — People who don't get enough sleep consume more calories and may be more likely to become obese, according to a new study. The study included 17 healthy young men and women who were studied for eight nights. Half of the participants got their normal amount of sleep (control group) while the other half got only two-thirds of their typical amount of sleep (sleep-deprived group). All the participants were allowed to eat as much as they wanted during the study. Those in the sleep-deprived group slept one hour and 20 minutes less each night than those in the control group, and consumed an average of 549 additional calories per day. Both groups burned about the same amount of energy for activity, which suggests that those in the sleep-deprived group didn't burn additional calories. Lack of sleep was associated with increased levels of leptin and decreased levels of ghrelin, both of which are appetite-associated hormones. These changes were more likely a result of overeating, rather than the cause of overeating, according to the study, which was presented Wednesday at an American Heart Association (AHA) meeting. "Sleep deprivation is a growing problem, with 28 percent of adults now reporting that they get six or fewer hours of sleep per night," study co-author Dr. Andrew Calvin, a cardiology fellow and assistant professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, said in an AHA news release. Although this study suggests sleep deprivation may be an important and preventable cause of weight gain and obesity, it was a small study and does not prove a cause-and-effect relationship, the researchers noted. "Larger studies of people in their home environments would help confirm our findings," Calvin said. Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

About the Department of Animal Biology
Although the name Department of Animal Biology is relatively new, this area of biology has a long tradition of excellence at the University of Illinois. Victor E. Shelford, a faculty member in the Department of Zoology from 1914 to 1947, was instrumental in the development of the field of animal ecology in North America. His emphasis on empirical studies in both academic and research programs has continued to the present.
The School of Integrative Biology focuses on an integrative approach to fundamental problems that can make a significant contribution to the solution of outstanding scientific and societal problems. As part of that School, the Department of Animal Biology's faculty teach and conduct research in
- behavioral ecology
- population and community biology
- molecular evolution
- paleobiology
- population genetics
- phylogenetic systematics
- evolutionary ecology
Current research involves a wide range of organisms, from crustaceans through mammals. Affiliate faculty from the Illinois Natural History Survey provide opportunities for graduate research in such applied areas as fisheries and wildlife management, conservation biology, as well as in ecology, behavior, and evolution.
Research facilities include laboratories well equipped for molecular biology, a modern avian behavior laboratory, greenhouses, and nearby research areas with mature forest, restored tall-grass prairies, and extensive areas for manipulative studies.

Austin >Food & Dining > Los Comales Mexican Rstrnt
2136 E 7TH St, Austin, TX | Directions 7870230.261701 -97.718273
Mon. - Sun. 10am - 10pm
Neighborhoods: Central East Austin
The best Mexican food for the best price. – My girlfriend and I discovered Los Comales by accident about three months ago, and we have eaten there at least ten times since. We've never had to wait for a table. The service is quick and friendly. The dining area is comfortable, relaxing, and clean. It is the food that keeps us coming back. Most of the time, I have the Echiladas Oaxacenas, topped with a tomatillo sauce which is tangy without being vinegary. The chile con queso is thick and creamy and suffused with garlic. (More than once I've had to order two chile con quesos, because I practically drink the stuff.) Their homemade tortillas are heaven. Normally, I'm a flour man, since I don't like the mealy texture of the corn variety; but the tortillas maiz at Los Comales are like little cakes. I could make a dinner out of their corn tortillas smeared with queso and rolled up. Lately, I've been hooked on their chicken enchiladas with mole. Their mole is fantastic - sweet and faintly smoky. I've tried other menu items - the pork in cascabel, chicken with chorizo and monterrey jack, and a terrific steak dish (the name of which escapes me) - and I have never left without thinking how perfect it seemed to be. Recently, I've been enjoying their desserts. The flan is firm, custardy, and cool. The tres leches cake is a real treat, full of the requisite milk, but firm enough to stand up to the fork without falling apart; and it has the most delightful caramel flavor to it. Yesterday we had chips and queso, two orders of chicken enchilidas and mole with beans, rice, and tortillas, and a shared piece of tres leches cake, all for $23.00. I can't think of a better deal in town for the money. I'm a member of a nearby theatre company, all of whom I brought for a late dinner one night, and they are addicted to Los Comales as well. I refuse to eat Mexican food any place else now. The only flaw I can see is that parking can be a bit of a challenge at times. If you can live with that, then I higly recommend Los Comales.
Gross Gross Gross... I think I am gonna be sick – I went to Los Comales because I read a good review in the Austin American Statesman date May 21, 2008. I totally regret going to Los Comales. I couldn't even finish my food. I had cheese enchiladas, a coworker and chicken enchiladas, and another coworker had fajitas. The prices are low and the service is good but the food is super disgusting! I couldn't even finish it. That is rare for me cuz I can eat! I love Amaya's in Capitol Plaza and I promise to never cheat on Amaya's again! I am so sorry Amaya!
If you don't know Spanish beware – I went in here after I read the reviews. They were true. I felt bad because I didn't know Spanish. The food was good but the service was horrible.
Best Mexican Food and service – I come to Austin about 5 times a year for two or three days at a time and I always stop by here more than once. I agree with everything the previous reviewer wrote except for the part of the non-spanish speaking patron. The waitress will go out of there way to provide you with the best service everytime. The food is very authenic and prepared to your liking. Try it once, try it twice, try it evertime you are in Austin.
great authentic mexican cuisine – although all the waitresses do not speak english, this restaurant is the best mexican restaurant I have been to in my 4 years in Austin. Don't expect Tex-,ex because that is not what this place is about but do expect great mexican food.
Los Comales is by far one of los mejores restaurantes en Austin. The food is incredible, the waitresses are prompt and friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable. The spicier the salsa, the more authenticity the restaurant has. Keep the busboy nearby for quick water refills. I don't recommend Los Comales for non-Spanish speakers. It is the only restaurante mexicano that I've been to in which the waitress assumed I wanted to speak Spanish, which I did, and greeted us in Spanish.

It was nice participating in this community and receiving critique anyway, even if the critiques were often critical. I'll conclude this thread with three pages of arm studies:
Everything is better with dinosaurs.
yeah but taking those two quotes out of the context isnt what i meant. you cut out the bit where i suggested "using other media; ok so pen isnt working for you. Use paint. Or ink. Or watercolour. Or Photoshop. Actually use photoshop first as its the least messy and the easiest to play with.
Try 3d software. Try clay. Try cloth. Wire. Crayon. Throw yoghurt at a wall and take photos of it. Draw faces on cans of paint with a marker pen Ian Stevenson style. Whatever. Etc. "
i didnt say quit!

Yeah, don't quit...unless it's something you just don't want to do. But, you seem like you want to draw so do it.
Remember, that no matter what you do, it will take time, dedication, and research. Nothing will ever come easy.
Your new arm studies are looking good.
My Sketchbook: Criticisms and Feedback needed
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu
Do not quit dude! AHhh!
Changed my mind back to not quitting drawing. I shouldn't have given up just because it looked too hard. That would have been cowardly and underestimating myself.
That being said, I do resolve to do more studies than I had been doing previously.
Everything is better with dinosaurs.
I'd say you're just stuck in a stylized rut. You can do all the studies you want, but if you keep returning to how you like to draw, you won't progress. The only way to learn is to forget everything you know and start from scratch. Your anatomical studies are very good, but you don't utilize that knowledge in your artworks as your figures become very flat.
But seriously, forget everything you already know, and just start from the basics again. You'll learn a lot faster without having bad habits holding you behind! Good luck!
Some neat tutorials and studies
Some Art Fundamentals
My blog
Hey Brandon, I was a bit looking around in your sketchbook and reading the comments.
First of all: if you do drawings and paintings just because you love it, than don't care so much what happens or how good you are. If you don't need to make a living out of your stuff, there's no need to improve fast. So, take away the pressure. You have all time in the world. No need to quit, if it is against your feelings.
And other thing: try to do what Velocity Kendall mentioned. Go and run wild. Try new things. Find new ways to think. Learning is not about driving the same way every day. Sometimes it is new ways, sometimes it is going back. You can never know, so you need to try.
I know it's hard. But as I said - you can have all time in the world. Don't put yourself under pressure.
Before I started to work digital, I had a time that lasts for something like two years, there I had really little improvement. I lost the fun in making pictures, because I just was in a dead end. Digital Painting was really a new start and I think, I learned,
when I have problems to improve, I need to start new at the very beginning. Basics like forms and shapes. That gives me a higher chance to find my way.
Maybe you can have a similar way. I don't know. But I think, people around here gave you already every possible advice
I probably wasn't as artistically productive as I should have been today, but I did have an awesome book by Michael Hampton titled Figure Drawing: Design and Invention at my disposal for references.

Not really a study, but an effort to construct a male human figure using what I've learned so far from my recent studies:

Hey Brandon
Sorry I havnt been on your book for a while!
whats this I'm reading you went through one of those "I Quit!" moments did you?
Then its time for one of those back pats that you need from time to time as an artist, Just take a minute and go through your own sketchbook from front to back and with the fresh eyes of experience on your side you will see that yes there are mistakes in the work.
However on each and every page there is progress and improvement, the anatomy studies you are doing will help a lot too. Just beleive in yourself man! you are getting better in each and every image you do.
you have just gotten to the part in life that we all go through where we realise that theres more information out there than we have room for in our tiny little heads and its more than a little off putting.
Suck it up soldier! and get drawing! LOL keep it coming and all the best my mate.

Goodness! Must say I'm pretty surprised about that turn around you had, I'm glad you're taking art more seriously and digging your claws in those studies.
Now, it's good to see you're actually starting to try and utilise what you're learning from those studies. I always like doing some imaginitive figures after a bunch of studies just to see if anything's sticking.
Anyways, keep up the good work, mate.

Hey CA,
I've been working on a short novel in the last few days (it currently has 7,000+ words and five chapters), so I'm sorry to say that so far I haven't been as artistically productive as I should have been, but I do have three pages worth of Hampton studies for today's update:
Everything is better with dinosaurs.
Mostly studies for today's update, but at the end I have a herdsman from ancient Israel staring at a night sky. I actually didn't know what was the proper way to color the subject and landscape; my method was to use daytime-ish colors (e.g. brown for the guy's skin, dark gray for his robe, etc.) and then convert them to a bluish-purple tint using GIMP's Colorize function.

your muscle studies are getting more awesome (btw the one you called "it isn't really a study" is actually a study by definition and your definition)

Nice to see you didnt end up quitting art.
When art gets tough, you don't quit, you try harder!
What I can see from your SB is that you have some problems with your observational skills.
I think that drawing objects from life would help you a lot! Try to make your drawings exactly as the object you're copying.
Even if it's just one drawing a day from life, your observational skills will improve
Much luck to you!
Here's a still-life of a lamp I have in my living room. Still-lifes like this used to give me hell, but I found that scribbling a little gesture drawing of the whole object before rendering the individual basic shapes was helpful. The gesture was almost like a skeleton on which I hung the shapes.

This is the variety of cow traditionally herded by African peoples such as the Zulu, Maasai, and ancient Egyptians and Nubians. Descended from a North African subspecies of the aurochs (Bos primigenius mauretanicus), African cattle may have been domesticated in Sudan at least as far back as 7000 BC (source). In African cultures, cattle are symbols of wealth and are slaughtered for meat only on special religious occasions; the rest of the time, they provide their herders with milk and blood.

If you look at the long horned ox's head from the front and rotate it through 180 degrees you get a rough letter A. This is where that letter originated from..

^ Yeah, I remember reading about that from an encyclopedia.
Naomi may like this:
A lower-ranking soldier from ancient Sumer in southern Mesopotamia (now Iraq). A more elite soldier would have worn an armored cloak and helmet, but I wanted to show off this guy's torso anatomy.
A lot of artists reconstruct the Sumerians and other Mesopotamians as light-skinned people like Europeans, but the few Sumerian paintings we have recovered suggest that they were significantly darker than that (see here and here), so I've rendered his skin tone as fairly dusky.

I am confused by this one, his skin in the picture you posted is largely pure white..?

Glad you didn't give up on the art Brandon. I know that frustration, the feeling that you're not making progress and making the same mistakes no matter how many studies you do. But it's an illusion, you just have to push through it.
Matt Kohr has a great video about this problem : link
It's great that you're thinking about what you're drawing, the details and background. Thinking about that kind of thing will make your painting much richer, in the long run.
BTW, a good DA friend told me that my people's muscles are too curvy. I'm going to practice with muscles some more to address that.

Hey man, I didn't read through the whole thread, but from the vibe I'm getting from this last page, seems you went through a period of Quitting, and UN-productiveness.
All I have to say concerning zeal is do what you love! period. Concerning art: straight lines help you more than curves do. Why? because any straight line can be changed into any kind of curve you want. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I suggest you take a look at classic atelier style drawing. They train with certain techniques, and visually measuring using straight lines to connect things in your image is a lot safer than trying to do "nice" curves from the get-go. Trust me. I took pride out of the way and I utilize the basics before anything nowadays. They are so important.
Also, don't care what people think. Impossible is nothing!
Inspiring video for you man! cheers!

Sorry for neglecting this message board recently. I have still been drawing, as you can observe from my DA page, but it's all been leisurely doodling rather than serious studying.
My mom is looking into signing me up for a personalized art class with my college-trained older cousin next month, and I can't wait for that. I would really appreciate the direction a class would provide.

For the portrait at the bottom of this post, I referred to a photograph of a model for both the facial features and the skin tones. I don't like how her cheeks came out, but hopefully it's an improvement over most of my portraits with regards to value.
Everything is better with dinosaurs.
Portrait of Julius Caesar, the most famous of the Republican Roman statesmen.
His nose was impossible to get right. The facial features were drawn using a bust of him as a reference (http://www.forumancientcoins.com/Art...ges/caesar.jpg) and the skin tones were sampled from a modern Italian model (http://man.bf-1.com/wp-content/uploa...03/pic0119.jpg)

Hi Brandon! Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook!
Glad you didnt quit with art, man! You have a lot of cool stuff going on here and its unique! Also interesting with that novel you mentioned.
Keep going, the skys the limit!
Great skethbook. You are coming along well. I notice something you are concertrating a little too much on outline. Try some gesture drawing and think a bit more about working inside out and building up. If you are unsure what I mean I am happy to find examples
